Nanae  (Listen)		Yoshimura Nanae
This work was composed last year for Nanae Yoshimura with excellent musicality and performing possibility, and one of my favorite solo pieces; in the first place performed with the success coming up to my expectation by her. But in the place refused to indulge in the feeling, who can reproduce except her, strictly and strongly in music with detailed instructions of pronounced method and so on? When I was present at the first performance, I knew this work would be one of the works for Yoshimura for some time. I think a work becomes independent as a composition, away from the composer, by playing again and again. Therefore, her performance is my best rapture as a composer. To explain a little about the work itself, though it's composed by an accumulation of fragmentations having relatively simple sound-shape, it's prosaic without its climax, and soon the unsparing progress makes a space and spreads out. And then, it’s supposed to introduce two supplements and gives the end to the work. The title design doesn't mean making various colors, but how to use the prepared colors. And in this case, "the color" is "the different cultural degree" of materials.
